“No bad energy in his squad” “I want to follow his footsteps & win more trophies” – Enzo Maresca vows to follow 55-years-old successful manager steps at Chelsea
Luis Enrique wowed Europe as he guided a young PSG team to win the Champions League in style.
Luis Enrique’s PSG team became the youngest ever to win the Champions League this past season.
Chelsea are using a similar template with a young squad, as Enzo Maresca’s side were the youngest in the Premier League..
Enzo Maresca has revealed his admiration for what Enrique has done.
“Luis Enrique has built a spectacular PSG, in my own small way at Chelsea I try to do the same,” the Italian told Corriere della Sera.
“The Champions League final photographed the dominance of a young team, capable of great technical plays expressed at an infernal pace, energy, running, pressing, offensive talent.
“Only in Italy do we continue to think that young people are always too young and that experience linked to age is what makes you win matches. It’s a cultural choice, which costs you in loss of energy.
“Chelsea spent to set up a squad of very young talents, but this didn’t stop us from beating the record of the academy boys who made their debut in the first team.
“There were nine. We all have faith in them, and in the work of those who weaned them.”
